Management 'Hangover Sick Day '= 'Working' Remotely Day
Blaming office people for what,?! See who pays you on time, see who takes care of your benefits, see who takes care of your pension, see who replies when you habe concerns and the list goes on and on and on, you think office people are bored, why dont we switch and see how many days you last full time in a chair vs office people in field!?. Btw seen many field employee jerks driving drunk amd been kick out for it. Hmmm Enbridge is still great unfortunately all restructuring comes with lay offs of those who dont fit anymore due to not being able to adapt to changes,. Dont want anyone to leave but it is what it is move on, find a company thay meets your standards, as from all these negatives sounds like you hate working in Enbridge so go move on amd be happy again.

Want to save money Mr. Big Boy Enbridge? Go after the call center employees making $40+ per hour.
Which union in Ontario? Most are so lean on field staff that I don't see it happening.
Will the layoff be effecting union employees in Ontario? Has anyone heard anything?
I know of some pretty useless low seniority employees with bad attitudes in our union who could use a good bump
The only win-win in the union environment is to offer up packages to long tenured employees. There are a lot (not all) of senior union employees that just take up space anyway!
Nobody wins. Organization loses valuable people and will leave lots fighting to find more work.
